Convert LATEX to GIF

LaTeX, short for "Lamport TeX", is a typesetting system widely used for producing scientific and mathematical documents due to its powerful handling of formulas and bibliographies. LaTeX files contain plain text formatted with LaTeX markup language, which then gets processed to produce high-quality PDFs. Originating from Donald Knuth's TeX system in the late 1970s, LaTeX was further developed by Leslie Lamport in the 1980s to simplify document preparation. It remains essential in academia and research for creating complex documents with precision and clarity.

The Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) is a bitmap image format developed by CompuServe in 1987. It is widely used for its support of animated images, allowing for the compression of graphics with low file sizes and without compromising quality. It's particularly popular on the internet for memes, short animations, and simple graphics due to its ability to loop animations seamlessly. GIFs support up to 256 colors and use the LZW compression algorithm to minimize file size. The format's historical significance lies in its ability to efficiently store and transmit images in an era of slower internet speeds and remains a staple in digital communication and web design today.
